1t Is wonderful to see what conflict
there is among the merchants of Newark
avenue to secure the passing custom and
to prevent it crossing the river. This is
not more notable than among the clothing
men. They are well appointed, from the
dapper young clerk, with his waxed nous
tache, to the old-time salesman, whose
heart ever went out with his hand, and
who now, with rotund form, enshrouds his
castor with a wheepcr, penitential of the
good times he has had. While on this sub
ject we would invite your attention to
those old-timers in the clothing trade who
can ''fill the bill" for you, from the most
diLlitante suit, to order, for the best clerk in
our City Departments, to the big, ready
made dress for city editor, or that which
the mechanic, laborer. or farmer would

He Refused TO Review n Labor Parade
and Meeting.

NEv York, June 4.-The play of Hamle
with hamlet let out could be no more of
hzzle than the o Briengdemsnstration this
evening. Before his arrival in this city he
had objected to participate in any meeting
under the sMspices of any particular asso-
citation WHICH did not have fcT its object
the freedom Of Ireland ahd the amelfora-
ton of its people. This expression was
! occasioned by proposition to honor him
by the Central Labor Union, the United
Labor Party and various labor csganiza-
tons. The demonstration must be purely
independent Irish affair. 1t was believed
that Mr.. O'Brien's scrupies in this regard
had been overcome and the preparations
for last evenings demonstration went on.
Arrangements for 81 grand parade, to be
participated in by from rs, 600 to 100, @0O,
men were made, but less than fifth of that
number paraded. The line was very slow
in forming, it being A. 10 before Colonel
Cavanagh, at the head of the gallant
Sky ninth Regiment, marched into
Thirty-fourth street and immediately
counter-marched aud proceeded down the
avenue at the bead of the procession, pre-.
coded by squad of six mounted police
men, who cleared the avenue of the i'm
mense crowd which had gathered at this
time.
Messrs. OBrien and Kilbride were to
have followed with the committee of ar
rangements in carriages, but he did not
and everywhere was heard the questions,
"Where is O'Brien?" "Whele are the
carriages?'
Mr.. O'Brien was at the Hoffman House
and he didn't propose to appear either in
the parade or on the reviewing stand. A
sub committee Of the committee of ar
engagements waited upon him and to them
he said he would not leave the hotel. He
understood that the demonstration was
lobor and Henry George hurrah, and as
his mission had nothing to do with such
matters he should not participate.
1t is understood also that he objected o
the presence of John McMackin, who was
to preside at the speakers stand. Nc
Macken presided at meeting in Cooper
Union Tuesday night, at which P. j. P.
lyman, the mysterious No. /, spoke and
applauded his extreme remarks. Mr.
O'Brien, who advocates peaceful measures,
in the righting of Ireland's wrongs. could
not afford to place himself in position to
be criticised
In the evening about sc, 900 people gath
cred in onion Square and listened to-
speeches by Mr.. McMackin and others.
